How I Spent My Sunday, Part 2

A few more photos from Sunday’s Medical Response Outreach Event (MORE).

Danielle and Cory shared their stories with us. Danielle was compelling and her story would break your heart.

They both were willing to let me photograph their teeth so that we could convey to our elected officials the dire need for services in our community. For obvious reasons, I will not be posting those photographs here.

Jacqui is a home health care nurse. Neither she nor her husband are insured.

Davit has big dreams of making it one day.

Bette (pronounced Betty, she was quick to tell me!) brought her son in for a flu shot and gave me good-natured hell about taking her photo, yet when I asked if I could photograph her with her boys, she proudly sat between them. I’ve got a print all ready to send to her.

Indulge me

Some more from my shoot at Fort Churchill.

Which one?

Color?

Black and White?

A few more shots from my Sunday shoot at Fort Churchill State Park.

Old Beauty in the Dead of Winter

It was a beautiful day today, so about 9:30 this morning I grabbed my camera and tripod to see what I could find. I took a left on Hwy 95 and headed south toward Fort Churchill State Park. Some of you may remember my Day 43 photo from Fort Churchill. Just a bit further from the entrance to the main park area is “The Orchard,” just across the highway from Buckland Station, the picnic and hiking area at Fort Churchill State Park.

The area is full of decaying farm buildings with signs all over them NOT to enter (drat!), as well as rusting farm equipment and old wagons. Here are a few of my shots. I’ll be posting more over the coming days.

You can see some of the adobe buildings of Fort Churchill in the background in this first one.

Bartley Ranch Park Sculpture

The weather was pretty nice yesterday, so I grabbed my camera and left the office for a little photo time. I kind of followed my nose and wound up at Bartley Ranch Regional Park.

In front of the old Huffaker School House there is a life-size sculpture of a boy and a girl playing at a water pump. I’ve been searching high and low for the artist and have not been able to determine who created this. However, it does bear a striking style resemblance to the sculpture I photographed last spring outside the Raggio Building on the University of Nevada campus.
